12 Instances When NFTs Truly Changed Lives For Working Class
With the market exploding since the start of the year, NFTs truly changed lives profoundly. Transformed by the resurrection of this previously highly narrow industry.
Many of us in the non-fungible ecosystem have done things we never imagined imaginable, such as making life-changing money by trading crypto and NFTs, quitting our day jobs to construct the metaverse, and establishing lasting friends online. To commemorate our gratitude for NFTs, we’re taking a look at 12 times NFTs truly changed lives.

Just put an offer in on a house for my mom. Was unemployed a year ago. Don’t let anyone tell you NFTs can’t change your life.

Thank you 100 times over to the @doodles team and @evankeast … life changing. pic.twitter.com/bjv5fSrvCT

NFTs Truly Changed Lives if you’re at the right place at the right time, which is what happened to KJ. KJ obtained an unrevealed Doodle via secondary sale after the initial Doodles mint, which turned out to be the 1/1 original Doodle. Doodles co-creator Even Keast personally put in a 100 ETH bid to buy back the NFT because it was used as the project’s logo, and the rest is history.

This is one of the best “how it started” vs. “how it’s going” tweets I’ve seen in the NFT arena. Twitter user Daggerhigh appears to have begun collecting and trading NFTs. NFTs Truly Changed Lives when he flipped his way up to being a billionaire after only a few months of battling to achieve more than $100,000 in returns. Talk about money that can change your life.

Before joining the NFT space 10 months ago I was working tirelessly on commissions. NFTs changed my life, now I have ownership over my creativity. I can vibe in the NFT world everyday and meet so many amazing people! I’m so grateful and want to do my best to help others! 🌟

GxngYxng
Ghxsts just reached 50,000 followers, so I wanted to say a few words. (a thread)
6 months ago I quit my job in the animation industry.
At the time it seemed foolish to everyone I knew to leave a stable job in pursuit of becoming an NFT artist. pic.twitter.com/gILRPy0Du6
— Ghxsts | NFT Collectibles (@Ghxsts) October 2, 2021
GxngYxng is the brains behind the well-known NFT project Ghxsts. He left his secure animation job with no backup plan and struggled to get his project off the ground at first. However, as evidenced by the present Ghxsts trading volume, GY is doing quite well, earning $2 million from a single NFT sell.

I am a woman, raising 3 daughters under 6, still breastfeeding my youngest. I built and run a multi million dollar project & brand from my home, changing my life and my children’s lives. I am my own dreams come true and herein lies the power of NFTs.

Pollak, Izzy
Everyone thinks we’re partnering with @BoredApeYC (and don’t worry, working on that) but wanted to take this opportunity to thank the community…

Fung, Stephy
Ok, I did it. I handed in my resignation letter to my full time job. You don’t understand how #NFT has been helped me in order to make this decision. I can become a full time freelancer now! ✨😆
— Stephy Fung (@stephyfung) April 6, 2021
Early in the year, Fung was able to do what many in the NFT community had wished for: she was able to quit her work and live entirely on NFT funds! Her tale is similar to that of many others in the NFT community who have been able to attain financial independence by making a few — or even one — large-scale deals.
